The existence of this bubble -- a place where marginalized populations could go to feel safe & accepted & joyful -- drove the wider patriarchal culture *insane*, so they attacked it & attacked it, made it a joke, dismissed it, marginalized it, killed it.

Last night I watched this documentary about Lilith Fair & it made me a little sad. They created a little bubble of good vibes, love, tolerance, & safety, & for a while it was a beautiful thing, but the world is full of misogynist assholes who can't allow beauty to exist free of their control.

The difference is that they made a hell of a lot of federal workers miss paychecks and snap recipients worry about where their next meal was coming from. You can’t play with people‘s live like this without delivering anything.
The people mad today were equally mad six months ago when the same thing happened and then forgot it happened mostly. With that said I think the risk for Dems is that the rage persists in an inchoate way that can’t even really be cured, since no one remembers where it came from

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

I guess you can quantify the massive disconnect between party leaders and the party base they loathe

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.
